Dear Christine, Craig and Cheryl,
My deepest sympathy to you on the death of your mother. Having been friends for over 60 years, I have many fond memories of happy times together as our families were growing. Your dad and Paul had been friends since little boys. We had your parents' wedding reception at our home. It was a wonderful life!
Sincerely, Shirley

Dear Aunt Lois.....

My last memory of you is getting down to "YMCA" ad David (Mlady's) wedding.

You were always upbeat, had great energy, even at 80 and always positive.

You will be greatly missed by all and know you were greatly loved.

Just one of your many nieces,
Mary Jo Mlady
